Carpenter’s Injury Halts Tigers’ Push | Detroit Tigers News

Kerry Carpenter’s plantar fasciitis setback is casting a shadow over the Detroit Tigers’ final 37 games, as manager A.J. Hinch confirms rehab has been paused and Carpenter may miss significant time—potentially sidelining him until next week at best. The slugger, who’s hit .208 with 13 homers and 36 RBIs in 81 games this year, is now semi-immobilized for the road trip before heading to Lakeland for therapy. While the team remains hopeful he can return to hitting and running soon, his unpredictable recovery leaves his availability uncertain. Meanwhile, other Tigers like Brant Hurter, James Outman, and Wenceel Perez continue their rehab paths, while Jack Flaherty ramps up throwing, Matt Vierling nears a rehab assignment, and Riley Greene returns fully after a hamstring strain. With a 61-64 record and five-and-a-half games behind the White Sox in the AL Central, the Tigers cling to a Wild Card berth after their win over the Pirates.
